Chapter 20, Go East and West
Seeing that the car guard was a little moved, Fu Jiezi said, "If he can expel the Xiongnu one day, Fu will definitely erect a stone tablet for the queen. The car will protect the general, and then he will have to help you." Che Hu was stunned and said, "Fu messenger, is there any way to transfer the garrison of Dunhuang in the Han Dynasty?"
Fu Jiezi said, "It's okay to reverse it, but it's too late. If we want to prevent Prince Angui from succeeding to the throne, we have to rely on ourselves. The car guard general is expensive but not expensive. In Loulan City, you have more than half of the military power, and outside the city, there are the Tuntian Division of the Han Dynasty and the city armies of various countries. What are you afraid of swallowing this small Xiongnu army!"
The general guarded his face and said, "Let's go out and talk about it later."
Fu Jiezi saw that the car guard was likely to have said it, so he quickly followed the car escort, because Maya and Prince Angui hid the king's affairs, and it seemed calm outside. Fu Jiezi came out with the general of the car guard and rushed straight back to the Fuguo Houfu.
At this time, Loulan was still in a peaceful atmosphere, and the night market gradually dispersed and was peaceful.
General Chehu dismissed the servants of the family and took Fu Jiezi to the secret room for discussion. Fu Jiezi originally planned to make a speech, but General Chehu had made up his mind and said to Fu Jiezi, "Fu messenger, please go out of the city quickly to prepare. I have my own measure in the city. Tomorrow morning..."
Fu Jiezi interrupted, "No, protect the general. Everything will be settled tomorrow morning. What we have to do is tonight. We will be unprepared and unexpected. We will surround the Xiongnu's posthouse and capture the returned prince in one fell swoop. Then he occupied the major battalions of Loulan with lightning. Our greatest advantage is that the enemy is open and secret. Prince Angui didn't expect us to get into trouble at all.
The car protection general couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. Suddenly, there was such a big movement. He really couldn't afford to make such a big deal.
Fu Jiezi said, "The Han army and the joint troops outside our city are stationed outside the city for the first time. I immediately sent people to Dunhuang to ask for troops. On the other hand, I quickly notified Princess Wusun's relief, so that Wusun can be determined. Wusun is closer to Loulan. With the support of the Han Dynasty and Wusun, even the Xiongnu did not dare to invade Loulan. As long as the situation in the Western Regions changes, our Han army can march to the west, and Loulan can keep safe and sound.
Things came too abruptly, and General Chehu was a little confused, but after all, he was a high-ranking person, with his own calmness and open-mindedness. He said, "Okay, Fu's messenger as soon as possible. I'll catch Prince Angui first."
Fu Jiezi stopped him and said, "No, destroy the Xiongnu mission first. Without the Xiongnu mission, what is it to settle him!"
General Che Hu said from the bottom of his heart that he did not dare to touch the Xiongnu's envoy, but at this time, when he heard Fu Jiezi say so, he became bold and suddenly slapped the case and said, "Okay, according to the words of Fu's messenger, I will take down the Xiongnu envoy tonight. I have no parents and no wife and children in my car, so I don't care about this body!"
Fu Jiezi discussed the route of sending troops with him again. Loulan's palm is a big place, and the car guard has lived here all his life. He knows where there is a cottage. This plan has won Zhou Xiangzhizhi. Fu Jiezi praised it from the bottom of his heart. He is good at cavalry fighting. If he really fights in this city, I'm afraid he is not The opponent of the car guard was relieved at this. He slapped the car guard and said, "Today, I swear to the general that I will never violate this."
General took down his sword and said, "This is my sword. The plan is hundred secret, and it is inevitable that the messenger Fu can act with the camera. I also hope that Fu's messenger will focus on the survival of Loulan. This time, he will fight quickly and return Loulan to peace!"
Fu Jiezi took the sword, nodded to the car guard, turned out of the house and disappeared in the night.
Fifty miles outside Loulan City is the place where the Han army gathered. When Fu Jiezi arrived, Lu Ming and his party didn't arrive long. The Han army's guard was very tight. As soon as Fu Jiezi approached, he heard someone in front of him shouting, "Who? If you don't get off the horse, you will shoot arrows!"
Fu Jiezi shouted and drove down slowly. After a moment, more than 100 torches in front of him lit up, and many people flashed in the swaying place of the firelight.
"Big boss, is everything done?" Although Lu Ming didn't know what Fu Jiezi was going to do, he still habitually asked. Fu Jiezi came over and saw that a young general next to Lu Ming was Zheng Ji. Zheng Ji had practiced for a long time in the Western Regions and seemed to be much more mature.
This is a bald mountain in a desert outside Loulan City. In the darkness, there is a dark man faintly. The torches are scattered everywhere, and many people are walking around. Zheng Ji was accompanied by a group of people, including Han people and Hu people from various countries. Fu Jiezi has never seen them much, because of the language barrier and he can't speak.
"Captain Zheng, our messenger has been looking for you for a long time." Fu Jiezi said with a smile.
Zheng Ji came to pull Fu Jiezi in and said, "General Fu, please. It's cold outside. We were still worried just now.
Fu Jiezi did not enter the account, but said directly, "It's urgent. King Loulan is dead."
Lu Ming lost his voice and said, " boss, what did you do just now?"
Speaking of sad things, Fu Jiezi's face darkened and said, "The king was already terminally ill, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and died. I have contacted Loulan's auxiliary country to stand up, and tonight is the time for us to show our skills on the ground of the Western Regions. Captain Zheng, we will send troops to Loulan City tonight to kill the Xiongnu envoy in one fell swoop!"
Zheng Ji couldn't help but be moved. He turned to the interpreter around him and the generals around him, and the crowd was immediately shocked.
Fu Jiezi gave a general explanation of the matter, but the specific details of himself and the car to worship the queen were saved.
Zheng Ji took Fu Jiezi to the camp, and also came with Lu Ming, Sima Xi, and the government soldiers of Zhucheng. Fu Jiezi looked at the miscellaneous city soldiers and said, "I don't know how many city soldiers there are this time?"
Zheng Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Shaanshan sent five hundred troops, and the last seventy, Ruoqiang 360, Xiaowan eight hundred and five, and some local soldiers, including ourselves, a total of 2,173." Fu Jiezi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. It seems that the soldiers in this city are really miserable. However, there were not many Xiongnu envoys. As long as he was given 1,000 people, he would have the confidence to pick these 3,000 Xiongnu soldiers, so he was not surprised to hear it. In addition, 10,000 soldiers protected by Loulan's car and 3,000 troops that could be adjusted, together were enough to destroy this Xiongnu's envoys.
Zheng Ji also seemed to feel that this handful of soldiers was really unspeakable and said, "In fact, these are only soldiers from several southern countries, such as Loulan, Jingjue, Shanguo and Guizi have not yet sent troops. Oh, by the way, the elite country was attacked by Yutan, and it can't be done.
Fu Jiezi was slightly stunned. Jing Jue has always been the largest country in the east of the Western Regions, but now it has only slightly reached this point. It seems that the countries in the Western Regions have survived, and the speed of change is really different from the Central Plains.
Now that the matter is urgent, Fu Jiezi did not ask in detail and said, "Now Mrs. Feng... Has Lu Ming said these things?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "The boss was still talking when he first came. I don't know whether Shanguo and Guizi can not leave the army. Fu Jiezi said, "It depends on Mrs. Feng's courage. Now the most urgent thing is to cooperate with Loulan Fuguo. Captain Zheng, all the people here are your soldiers. You can order it.
Zheng Ji said excitedly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack inside and outside. This group of Xiongnu soldiers is really not a big problem. According to the auxiliary country, the troops were divided into two ways. All the way, the soldiers and horses were led by General Fu and buried in the north of Loulan. I brought a man to the red bat cliff ten miles to the west. The two teams of people and horses were each other. If the Xiongnu soldiers escaped, they would definitely be completely annihilated.
Fu Jiezi said, "So we will act immediately. Lu Ming, our people are familiar with each other. Let's take them by ourselves. You can arrange it. I don't know how many soldiers Captain Zheng gave us?
Zheng Ji said, "The horse nap in the north is wide and requires more manpower. General Fu, take the soldiers of Xiaowan and Ruoqiang." Fu Jiezi calculated that he had taken most of it. Zheng Ji took a small number of soldiers and said, "I only take the soldiers of Xiaowan. I'm going to take a nap tonight.
After saying that, Fu Jiezi took the pen, ink and silk cloth and wrote two letters quickly. One was quickly sent to Dunhuang, and the other went directly to Princess Wusun's Mansion.
It was night. The Han army, who had been working all night, continued to rush all the way to the south side of Ma's nap, which was less than ten miles away from Loulan. Ma's nap is an oasis. When he arrived at Ma's nap, the Han army fed the horse grass and water, and others set up iron pots to cook for food. It was quite hard on the way. Wuhou fell asleep with a steamed bun in his arms. Lu Ming had to eat some grass and hid in the tent to sleep.
Fu Jiezi was also sleepy and couldn't stand it, but he was really worried about the Han army like this, so he arranged several people to rotate and change the sentry with himself.
The night in the desert was so cold that people's bones hurt. Several people changed. Fu Jiezi finally slept for less than two hours, and suddenly received a report from Loulan City. Loulan City mutiny, and Fu Guohou suddenly launched a mutiny, intercepted the Xiongnu envoy and surrounded the royal palace.
The Xiongnu army fled to the west and encountered Zheng Ji's troops at the Red Bat Cliff. Fu Jiezi immediately picked up the Han army one by one, rectified the team and rushed to the Red Bat Cliff.
The night was dark, and the Han army rushed to the Red Bat Cliff, but when they arrived here, the people were empty. Not only the Xiongnu army, but also Zheng Ji's army disappeared. Lu Ming circled around and said, " boss, what's going on? What about the Xiongnu soldiers? No wonder it has broken through. Zheng Ji led his troops to catch up with him?
Fu Jiezi took a look at the night, and his face changed greatly and shouted, "How treacherous! We were tricked, and there were no Xiongnu soldiers here at all! We have been tricked to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. Hurry up!"
Lu Ming heard a pat on the forehead and shouted, "It's true that's the straight thief!" The Xiongnu soldiers pretended to send messengers, transferred us away, and naturally fled to the driver. It seems that Zheng Ji has also been transferred. Fu Jiezi frowned and said, "It seems that this group of Xiongnu are much more shrewd than we thought. This head of the blood tripod is indeed a little extraordinary. Leave two people here to send a message to Zheng Ji, and we will chase them!"
Han Jun is a little bitter. He has been running back and forth for several days, all day and night. Compared with the past, he has suffered a lot. Especially in these days, he has not had a good rest after continuous fatigue. Seeing that the morale of the Han army was depressed, Fu Jiezi was secretly worried. If he really met the Xiongnu soldiers, it would be more difficult to win like this.
The Han army rushed to the south of Ma Erju. Fu Jiezi got off the horse and took a look. Sure enough, there were traces of Xiongnu soldiers passing by. Fu Jiezi was itching in his heart and said, "I'm going to chase me fiercely. When I can kill the Xiongnu soldiers, I'll give you three days off!" With that, he raised the whip fiercely and followed him with his footprints.
A hundred miles north of Loulan is the border of the car master. The car master country has always been a vassal state of the Xiongnu and helped the Xiongnu suppress other countries. It has a long history. The reputation in the Western Regions is far from Loulan and Guizi, so Loulan and the driver are a little old and dead. Because the border is a desert, no one wants to be there. Duan, the two countries are segregated.
In a hurry, the sky was about to light up, and the footprints in front were still heading north. Fu Jiezi and the Han army really had no strength to rush. Fu Jiezi ordered the team to rest for a moment and then continue to hurry.
Originally, I was only going to rest for a moment, but it was difficult for the army to stand up again as soon as I sat down. It was useless for Fu Jiezi to urge him. The Han army was fine, but Xiao Wanbing was an a strange number. These soldiers were all scattered soldiers who were recruited temporarily. They didn't listen to discipline or listen to them. No matter what Fu Jiezi called. Don't get up.
Fu Jiezi was full of fire, but there was no place to send it. These people needed to be caged. If not, he would have to move his own military law. After such a break, Zheng Ji's troops rushed over from behind. As soon as Zheng Ji saw Fu Jiezi, he looked embarrassed and said, "General Fu, we were tricked. The Loulan who came to send the message was fake and transferred us away."
Fu Jiezi signaled to know, and his face was not very good. He said, "Now that the Xiongnu soldiers have gone to the chariot division, and I can't transfer these soldiers. It seems that I can't catch up."
Zheng Ji heard this and suddenly ordered ordinary. As soon as several interpreters finished speaking, these people came one after another.
Fu Jiezi was surprised a lot and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. It seems that the prestige of leading troops is indeed not overnight. He is no worse than Zheng Ji in leading troops, but after all, these people have just taken over, and they can't accept Wang Hua, and there is nothing they can do.
By Zheng Ji's order, these soldiers were much more obedient. Zheng Ji scolded several generals and saluted Fu Jiezi and said, "General Fu, please forgive these soldiers for not obeying discipline. Now we all listen to your order. You order it.
Several generals looked at Fu Jiezi with some fear.
Fu Jiezi said, "The success of everything in the world lies in persevering when it is impossible. Now the Xiongnu army may be far away, but we still have to chase it!" Zheng Ji took the order with his fist and ordered the army to open it.
drove away a kind, which has reached the border of the Cheshi Kingdom. Zheng Ji said, "General Fu, the Cheshi Kingdom has always been the head of the Xiongnu horse. Now it seems that the Xiongnu envoy has indeed entered the Cheshi. Shall we chase it?"
After entering the Cheshi Kingdom, such a large army means invasion and can't be chased anymore, but Fu Jiezi couldn't help ordering, "Continue to chase!"
Seeing Fu Jiezi like this, Lu Ming couldn't help but come over and whisper, "Big, don't be angry. Now you have arrived at Cheshi Country. It will be a big trouble for our army to enter without authorization, and the Cheshi is a vassal state of the Xiongnu, with 50,000 in the army. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for us to go there."
Fu Jiezi listened and calmed down a little and said in a hateful voice, "It's a pity! Captain Zheng, what's your opinion?
Zheng Ji looked at the exhausted Han army and said, "The tired division should not go any further. General Fu, in my opinion, we still rushed to Loulan. Maybe something will happen to Loulan.
Fu Jiezi sighed and said, "Well, that's the only way." After saying that, he also found that he had been very calm in the past few days and was not as calm as before.
Zheng Ji ordered the team to return, and the army once again turned to Loulan City.
Fu Jiezi was so worried that he rode on the horse. I don't know when Lu Ming rushed over.
" boss, your situation is not right these days." Lu Ming's tired face showed a trace of ambiguity, and after saying that, he laughed. Fu Jiezi said puzzledly, "Why am I wrong?" Lu Ming said, "Big boss, you are restless these days. I'm afraid you are thinking about your sister-in-law."
When this lukewarm joke was said, several Han soldiers around them also laughed powerlessly.
Fu Jiezi was strong and scolded with a smile, "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with your sister-in-law? Lu Ming smiled and said no more.
Fu Jiezi is a little embarrassed. In the past few days, he is indeed not as calm as before. What's the reason? No wonder, as Lu Ming said, it's because he met Yin Yin? Fu Jiezi himself can't explain it clearly.
Looking at Zheng Ji, Fu Jiezi couldn't help asking, "Captain Zheng, we also rested in Tuntian Si this time. There is something I want to ask." Zheng Ji also dragged his fatigue and said, "General Fu, please have something to say."
Fu Jiezi talked about meeting Yin Yin in Tuntiansi, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "She is my wife who disappeared six years ago."
Zheng Ji suddenly looked up. He didn't know whether he was shocked or too sleepy. He fell off his horse at once. Since he got up, he led the horse and said, "What, what? She, she is... General Fu, what are you talking about?
Fu Jiezi did not say anything about Yin Yin's death. This matter is too strange. It often takes a lot of effort to explain it. Fu Jiezi is unwilling to make this attempt now and said, "Six years ago, Yin Yin left me. The matter is very complicated. I always thought she was dead. Now that I meet in Quli City, not only me, but also Lu Ming and my subordinates are very surprised. Captain Zheng, you have taken care of her for so long, Fu is here..."
"No...General Fu, this, this... this is impossible!" Zheng Ji listened to the chaos and didn't know what to say. Fu Jiezi knew Zheng Ji's thoughts, but he could give anything. Can his wife give them? Fu Jiezi suppressed these embarrassing words, but after saying them, he found that he had been tired and forgot to choose a suitable place to talk about it later.
The surrounding Han soldiers looked at Zheng Ji with a rather complicated expression.
